The Laurel Wreath represents victory over cancer and honors those who have been diagnosed or have passed away from kidney cancer.
GrOw away
Kidney Cancer
If there is one thing all kidney cancer patients can agree on is that we wish the cancer would just GO away.
Part of the healing process can be looking forward to 'new life'. Move forward by planting a tree and watch it grow. New growth. New life.
A new path forward.
Kidney Cancer - Honors
Individuals listed on this page are recognized and lifted up as a member of the kidney cancer community.
Mike Peterson
An avid naturalist and outdoorsman, Mike quietly lived life. Soon after retiring, things he enjoyed most created fatigue. A stubborn man, his son finally convinced him to go to the Emergency Department to be evaluated. The doctors discovered a mass in his kidney, liver, and lungs. Stage 4 renal cell carcinoma. Mike passed away quietly on July 1, 2025. The same way he lived. God Bless his memory.
Sid Sadler
A husband and father, Sid Sadler was diagnosed with kidney cancer in December 2023. Sid was just 32 years of age at the time of the unexpected news that a 10.5 cm mass was growing in his kidney.
Since a complete nephrectomy of his left kidney, Sid has been running full speed ahead. Sid set out to learn everything he could about renal cell carcinoma and how he can be a supportive voice for others walking a similar journey.
